Buttermilk Biscuits

1½ cups flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

4 tablespoons cold butter or margaine

¾ cup buttermilk

Preheat the oven to 425 oF. Crease a baking sheet. Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl. Cut in the butter or margarine with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually pour in the buttermilk, stirring with a fork to form soft dough.

Roll out about ½ inch thick. Stamp out 2-inch circles with a cookie cutter. Place on the prepared tray and bake until golden, 12-15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
